funds on personal items like sephora cosmetics, trips to atlantic city, and even only fans. turns out, they don t sell fans at all. the name of the site is very misleading. republican congressman george santos providing an awful lot of material for the late night shows. we ll go through a very damning ethics report. that was the tip of the iceberg there from jimmy kimmel, and show you the response from the new york lawmaker who says he s sticking around. we ll see if he can. talk about that in a minute. also ahead, we ll have the latest from the middle east. israel says it has more evidence hamas is operating out of a hospital in gaza. it comes as the idf recovered the body of a hostage near that facility. and we will recap another diplomatic day on the west coast for president biden, where he met with the leaders of south korea and japan. good morning. welcome to morning joe. it is friday, november 17th. with us this morning, we have the host of way too early, wh
question. i think there are still things he needs to answer for, and i think, you know, this is, as you say, kind of a dress rehearsal in front of a billionaire who could support him, but there s a lot of voters out there he s going to need to actually vote for him or show real support for him. adelson is going to back somebody he thinks can win. if christie can t get support from the public, he is not going to win. it s going to be a fascinating weekend for anybody who loves politics. hunter walker, dafna linzer, thanks to both of you. we will have coverage of chris christie s press conference 2:30 eastern time here on msnbc. checking the news feed now, connecticut is the first state to raise its minimum wage to $10.10. that s the amount president obama had been pushing nationally. state officials say more than 90,000 people will get a raise. governor dan malloy signed the bill yesterday. we re the first state in 50 states to do what the people want to do, and that s to raise th
show because of his philosophy and the way he treats people. now i ve learned one thing about this guy. this is a guy that is not an honest broker. you condition believe what he says. tonight we have more proof that christie can t be trusted! earlier today, cristy s own internal investigation shockingly revealed that the governor, he had no knowledge whatsoever of his aides closing george washington bridge lanes. we found that governor christie had no knowledge before hand of this george washington bridge realignment idea and that he played no role whatsoever in that decision or the implementation of it. we further found no evidence that anyone in the governor s office besides bridget kelly knew of this idea in advance or

guy out there. i wasn t overain overalls and a but i was the guy working the cones. it s not that big of a deal. just because press runs around and writes about it here and nationally, i know y that is and so do you. let s not pretend that it s the gravity of the issue. i think is a grave issue. wildstein and another port authority official have since right hand. the star leather s editorial board writes his attempts to laugh this off appalachian to be dishonest but we can t be sure. either way, christie bears responsibility. if it turns out he did know, he is obviously lying and unfit for office let alone a 2016 presidential run and even if he did not his officials are liars. if christie can t control them, how can we trust him as a potential future leader of our
